ARRGGH, painting a concrete floor just creates a lifetime of grief the
paint peels easily, everytime something moves over floor.

install a computer muffin fan exhausting to the outside, uses nearly
no energy, end of musty smell.

if you insist on paint then go professionally applied epoxy, at least
its fairly durable.

or tile the floor.

paint? had a house like that, constantly looked bad. repainting makes
thick paint more likely to peel.

i ended up stripping the paint and vinyl tiling floor

A GOOD concrete floor paint, applied to a properly prepared concrete
floor, CAN last a long time. Like 20 to 30 years. But it needs to be a
high quality paint, and the floor needs to be CLEAN and properly
prepared.
